Purpose of this cookie policy

This policy explains how our website uses cookies and similar technologies that may support website operation, improve user experience, measure audiences or deliver personalized content.

It provides clear information about cookie types, their purposes, data that may be collected, consent choices and ways to manage your preferences.

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small file stored on your device when you visit a website. It can recognize your browser, remember preferences or collect technical information about your browsing.

Some cookies are necessary for website operation; others serve analytics, personalization or marketing purposes.

Types of cookies used

Our website may use different cookie categories depending on enabled features, integrated tools and user preferences.

• cookies strictly necessary for website operation
• audience measurement and statistics cookies
• functional cookies related to user experience
• marketing or advertising cookies
• cookies from third-party services integrated into the website

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to work properly. They support security, navigation, page display, forms and remembering certain technical choices.

They generally do not require prior consent because they are essential to provide the service requested by the user.

Audience measurement cookies

Audience measurement cookies help us understand how visitors use the website: pages viewed, visit duration, interactions, traffic sources and content performance.

This data helps improve site structure, content quality, technical performance and user experience.

Where these tools identify, track or profile a user, their use may require your prior consent.

Functional cookies

Functional cookies improve your experience. They may remember preferences such as language, display, form choices or interface settings.

They are not always essential, but can make browsing smoother and more personalized.

Marketing and advertising cookies

Marketing cookies may measure advertising campaign effectiveness, personalize content or display advertisements relevant to visitors’ interests.

Third-party services, including advertising platforms, analytics tools and social networks, may set these cookies.

These cookies should be activated only after your explicit consent.

Third-party cookies

Services integrated into the website may set their own cookies. These can include analytics, video platforms, interactive maps, chat modules, sharing buttons and advertising services.

These third parties are responsible for their own privacy practices. We recommend reading their respective policies to understand how your data is used.

Cookie consent

On your first visit, a consent banner or module may let you accept, refuse or customize non-essential cookies.

Strictly necessary cookies may remain active for website operation. Analytics, marketing and advertising cookies should remain disabled until you give consent where required.

Managing your preferences

You can change cookie preferences at any time through the website’s consent management module, when enabled.

You can also configure your browser to block cookies, delete existing cookies or alert you when one is set.

Refusing certain cookies may limit features or change your browsing experience.

Cookie retention periods

Cookie retention varies by purpose. Some cookies disappear when the browser closes; others may stay on your device longer.

Non-essential cookies are retained only as long as needed for their purposes, subject to the user’s choices.

Data that may be collected

Depending on the tools used, cookies may collect technical or behavioural information, including IP address, browser type, device, pages viewed, browsing duration, clicks, traffic sources and website interactions.

When this information identifies a person directly or indirectly, it is treated as personal information.

Use of Google Analytics

The website may use Google Analytics or a similar tool to analyse traffic, understand visitor behaviour and improve performance.

Advertising, remarketing or advanced tracking features in Google Analytics may require prior consent.

You can limit or disable some collection by adjusting cookie preferences or browser settings.

Remarketing and targeted advertising

Remarketing tools may display relevant advertisements to people who have previously visited our website.

These technologies may use cookies or similar identifiers to recognize a browser or device across websites and platforms.

You can refuse these cookies through the consent module or the settings offered by the platforms concerned.

Refusing cookies

You can refuse non-essential cookies without preventing general access to the website. However, some advanced features, embedded content or personalized preferences may not work normally.

Refusing marketing or analytics cookies does not necessarily prevent advertising, but the advertisements may be less personalized.

Changing or withdrawing consent

You can withdraw or change consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before it.

When cookie management is available, a preference link or button may appear on the website to make management simple and accessible.

Browser settings

Most browsers let you control cookies through their settings. You can generally block cookies, delete stored cookies or define rules for particular websites.

Settings vary by browser. Consult your browser’s official help to learn about available options.

User responsibility

Users remain responsible for privacy settings on their browser, device and third-party service accounts.

We nevertheless commit to clear information and reasonable ways to manage preferences for cookies used on our website.
